At this meetup, we’ll discuss the Orthogonality Thesis, that any level of intelligence is compatible with any kind of goal i.e. there could exist a “Clippy” superintelligence that only cares about making paperclips. See the link for background on the topic, and the contrast with “inevitabilist” theses which argue e.g. “It doesn’t matter what kind of AI you build, it will turn out to only pursue its own survival as a final end.”
